The Infineon PSoC 64 standard secure MCU family is PSA Level 2 certified for the Arm platform

     Infineon Technologies has announced that the company's PSoC 64 microcontroller (MCU) standard Security family of devices has achieved Arm Platform Security Architecture (PSA) Level 2 certification. Level 2 certification includes a laboratory evaluation of the PSA Trust Root (PSA-ROT) to demonstrate that the device is protected from extensible software attacks. The evaluation lab performs vulnerability analysis and penetration testing on PSA-RoT to establish compliance with the nine security requirements of the PSA-RoT protection profile.

     The Infineon PSoC 64 Secure MCU is one of the first Arm Cortex-M processors to meet PSA Level 1 certification. With the new PSA Level 2 certification, developers of iot systems can have a higher level of trust when using PSoC 64 secure MCUS with Arm PSA's comprehensive portfolio of threat models, security analysis, hardware and firmware architecture specifications. The PSoC 64 MCU is suitable for cloud-connected applications that require protection of user data and trusted firmware updates, including personal health care devices and home security solutions.

     Erik Wood, Associate Director of iot Security MCU Products at Infineon Technologies, said: "As a leader in iot and security solutions, we are pleased to have passed the rigorous PSA Level 2 certification laboratory test. This higher level of certification further ensures that iot solution developers' smart connected devices are built on a PSA compliant security foundation. In addition, this certification is built on our secure platform, making our customers' lives simpler and safer."
